[Preface] [1 2 3 Jared] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Mohonri] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Moroni] [Pagag] [IAO]
1. And now I, Jared, according to the wish of mine brother Moriancumer, and the desire of the Elohim, attempt to transcribe upon these plates a more particular account of our journeys and experiences:
2. And of the countless spiritual manifestations that did accompany us from the time of our departure from the land of Nimrod, even unto this time.
3. Wherefore I begin by saying that not by our own wills, but in the will of god did we journey, and live and breath and have our being.
4. And we were and are an highly blessed people.
5. For we love the Yahweh our Elohim who hath created us, neither are we slow to fulfill his commandments and hearken unto his voice in joy
6. And now it came to pass that when we were yet in the land of Nimrod, that our brother Mohonri was silent be fore us concerning the will of the lord in our departure.
7. Nevertheless we too grew anxious to abide in more hospitable land despite the mercies and protection of god which we did enjoy.
8. And it came to pass that we were obedient in the construction of a tabernacle, even a holy tent like structure unto the lord.
9. And we did build it according to the pattern received by mine brother upon the mount.
10. And in all things have we patterned our lives as closely as we can from the heavenly pattern.
11. And we did also form objects of holiness in representation of the various spheres of heaven.
12. And thus it was given us to know that the heavens were counted seven in number, even as the wandering stars are seven in number.
13. And within the tabernacle of Elohim we didst portray their mystery according
To the decrees of Elohim and the wisdom of Mohonri.
14. And we were exceeding blessed in our labors.
15. For we would go forth by the light of the moon, with the starry canopy atone, and collect from the plain those things we were in need of that had been left by the thieves and cannibals of the land.
16. And thus did the lord our Elohim provide all things whatsoever we were in need of.
17. And even the book of the births of Adam have we come to possess.
18. Which thing is unto us a great benefit and joy.
19. And although we are confident Yahweh himself could have sent his angels to instruct us in these things, we nevertheless rejoice that he hath seen fit to bless us with a copy of the actual book of Adam=s births.
20. For we know the great love our forefathers have expressed unto their god, and it pleases us to be blessed with a memorial of their understandings.
1. Now it came to pass that I Jared, and mine brother Mohonri, and even all who had gathered together unto us, were greatly pained by the evil of the land.
2. And we were exceedingly zealous to serve the Elohim of heaven in a pure and undefiled way, least we, and the very earth itself be destroyed for this great evil.
3. And as Nimrod's house grew in power and evil, so we grew in understanding and goodness.
4. The one balanced between the other, and thus the earth was preserved.
5. And it came to pass that before our departure, the lord did tempt us by the hand of an evil one, to see who among us would be faithful and true.
6. For behold, an priest of Nimrod, Ashteton by name, came among us.
7. And great and swelling words did he speak unto us, that we might be tried and proven whether it was to the lord that we were wed forever.
8. And these are his words.
9. I, I am Ashteton, master high priest of the kingdom of Nimrod.
10. And I have come among you seeking power.
11. For mine lord Nimrod worships truly the lord of power, on the plain of power, and your light hath been seen and I am sent to gather it in.
12. I come in the name of my father Nimrod, who cometh in the name of Cain, the master magician, and in the name of he who reigns over all.
13. There is a god in heaven, and there are gods in the earth, but none so grand, none so powerful, as the lord of power whom we serve.
14. Our light comes through the leapings of the serpent of fire, and through such all creation and light is generated.
15. There is a celestial serpent above, and an earthly serpent below.
16. And in us all slithers the serpent of power, and through this we live and breath.
17. Come, intertwine your serpents with our serpents, for ye know as we know, that the serpent was god in Eden, and begat the true lineage of light through Cain.
18. Whence hath come all that is goodly.
19. The city and the wall, fire and flame, abundance of flesh, and instruments of music which generate power.
20. Now these things ye cannot deny, for all men know such, why then do ye hesitate to conform to the true pattern?
21. And mine brother Mohonri rose up in the might and power of the Elohim, and did speak saying:
22. Know ye O priest of Nimrod, that we serve the true and living gods of the highest heaven, and them only do we serve.
23. And we know that there was great evil in Eden, nevertheless we know that Adam and the ancient Havah were nevertheless weaned from such evil, and again sought deity in truth.
24. And we know that it is messiah, the prince of peace, that doth persuade men to do good, and it is his spirit that generates all power.
25. Wherefore we reject the trinkets and benefits of the lineage of evil and look to god to teach us how to live.
26. Nevertheless we do not deny much truth that lieth with thee, but in the truth there be a lie, and in a lie, and in the blood of men art thou deceived.
27. Therefore turn ye from thy lust for power, for the kingdom cannot be taken by force and permanently preserved unto thee.
28. For all things are the highest gods, and they alone that serve him, even the meek of the earth shall inherit perpetual peace.
29. And for many days did mine brother and the priest of Nimrod, even Ashteton, speak of these things.
30. And great were the truths which they did expound and the contradictions that they pursued.
31. And we who listened were as in a dream.
32. And on through the night they labored, and throughout the day.
33. And it came to pass that the evil which Ashteton espoused was proven flawless, save for one thing, that being the love of light that only the meek maintain.
34. And many of the practices of Nimrod's house, though admittedly existent in fallen Eden, were nevertheless shown for their iniquity.
35. And it came to pass that on the third day Ashteton was baptized by mine hand, and he returned to Nimrod's house to explain his situation.
36. Now we greatly feared least their be a reprisal mounted against us by this Nimrod, nevertheless we tarried in our trust in Elohim.
1. And it came to pass that we beheld a great company coming unto us, and we were sore afraid, nevertheless the spirit strengthened us, and we did meet them at the base of the hill.
2. And great was our joy to discover that many therein were willing and ready to leave behind their old ways of lusting for power, and were willing to attempt to live the laws of light.
3. Yet therein were many whose motives we questioned, nevertheless they professed their sincerity.
4. And the Yahweh our Elohim spoke unto us sayings those that come, let them come.
5. And it is I that looketh upon the secret of the heart of man, and even I Yahweh Elohim will make manifest to all that degree of righteousness that is in every man.
6. Wherefore trials and purging await, and I shall purify you as the metal worker purifies metal, and the light and darkness shall both be made manifest.
7. And we did baptize them there near the plain, even seven times did we immerse them, for great were the sins upon them.
8. And the lord blessed us, insomuch that we discovered that among them were many ancient writings.
9. Even all the library of the patriarchs was preserved in our hands, therefore we rejoiced exceedingly.
10. Grieving as well, for therein was the woeful tale of the defiling of the earth by the evil of man.
11. And being familiar with the evil side of the holy rites, these priests and their families were quick to perceive the manner and meaning of the true rites.
12. And thus we became a great company, and thus we Enjoyed the fruits which our Understandings brought forth.
13. And in all things we were. Blessed as we applied heavenly truths explained and enumerated in the holy rites of priesthood.
14. Now this man Ashteton did remain faithful, even unto that time when we did arrive at the sea east.
15. And there we had a mighty confrontation.
16. And for four years we dwelt in such a situation, that the lord could try us, and sift us, making manifest both the pure and the impure.
17. And seven years we did travel unto this eastern sea, and for four years we did tarry in that land.
18. And our preparations for departure occupied two years
19. In all thirteen years we spent from the time of our departure from Shinar unto our departure over the sea east.
20. And in that time we were highly blessed, and grew in favor and light.
21. And the lord did lead us and bless us.
22. And we were want to rejoice and praise him oft.
23. And as often as evil arose among us, we did see that it was put down immediately.
24. And some there were among us that departed from us, and many that remained faithful.
25. And in all things the lord was with us, prospering us and blessing us abundantly.
26. And I Jared make an end, for mine brother aspires to the engraving of these plates with the seven rites of the seven heavens which were given into the hands of Adam, Seth, Enosh, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch and others, and which were confirmed upon them through angels.
27. That upon these plates all things might exist that are profitable for priesthood progression.
28. And thus I end, blessing god and all holy men that love his ways and try to serve him, for in the end of days they shall find rest. Amen.
